Walt Bond was only 29 when leukemia claimed him in October of 1967. Herman Hill was a mere 25 when he drowned in Venezuela during winter baseball. What they have in common is that they spend a brief time with the Minnesota Twins in the final year of their life. And photos of both with the Twins are on the scarce side.
Lexibell folders opened recently found nice press photos of both. Bond, on the right, is pictured with Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew and fellow infielder Rich Reese in the spring of '67. The head shot of Hill indicates it is from the spring of 1970.
